DPA 4017B shotgun microphone

DPA 4071B Gun Microphone

At just 212 mm (8.3 in) long and weighing only 68 g (2.4 oz) this mic is one of the shortest and lightest shotgun condenser microphones available. At the same time, it offers impressive accuracy and clarity. The mic is fully immune to RF emission and the 19 mm (0.75 in) condenser cartridge is capable of handling peak SPLs of 152 dB before clipping.

It has a highly-directional hypercardioid pickup pattern with excellent off-axis rejection and the preamp has switchable high boost and low cut filters which provide a 4dB lift at 8kHz and a roll off at 120Hz.

The condenser capsule uses a high voltage pre-polarized back plate providing high output level, wide dynamics and extremely low noise and distortion.

A permanent third-order high-pass filter at 50 Hz effectively removes unwanted low frequency handling and wind noise.
